What you need

• Your current numbers or baseline
• A simple tracking method
• Honesty about the starting point

Step by step

Tips

• Set a timer; scope grows to fill available time.
• Keep a 'problems' list while working instead of fixing mid-flow.
• The second rep is always faster — plan for it.

Common mistakes

• Confusing activity with progress — track outputs, not hours.

FAQ

Can I adapt this to my situation?

Yes — treat the steps as the skeleton. Keep the verification steps; customize everything else.

Do I need special equipment?

No. The lists above stick to essentials. Upgrade only after the basic version works and you know which limitation actually bothers you.

How long does this take?

Most people finish the core steps in one focused session. First-timers should double the estimate and add a break halfway.
